Fire officials have said fires in eight parts of the city likely were caused by downed power lines, while two others were believed to be arson. The blazes are considered to be the worst spate of fires in Detroit since the 1980s, when firefighters regularly battled hundreds of arsons on the night before Halloween.

City officials met with DTE Energy executives on Friday discuss the company's response to downed power lines and illegal electrical hookups. Another meeting is planned next week.
